George Stephanopoulos implies the media will investigate Michele Bachmann’s foster children

  When Michele Bachmann appeared in Concord New Hampshire back in March and erroneously declared that this was the place where the shot heard around the world occurred I was fairly harsh on her for this historical gaffe. This was the first time that I paid any real attention to Michele Bachmann and I was less than impressed with her for her lack of knowledge regarding American history, but then came the debate a few weeks ago and she caught my attention; in a field that I would categorize as less than impressive Michele Bachmann stood out and I feel she did exceedingly well in the debate. I have decided to give he a close look during the primary, and have not ruled out casting my vote for her.

  And now the media is firing at her with both barrels, and the fact that the media finds her so offensive has me thinking that there is something about her that they fear; and when the media is against someone I tend to gravitate to that person. During a recent interview with George Stephanopoulos it was implied that the media would be investigating her 23 foster children in an attempt to bring her down.

  Foster children come from broken homes and troubled backgrounds and the people who are willing to become foster parents know and understand this, yet they choose to take in these children in the hope that they can raise and nurture them in a loving home with the goal of helping to turn these troubled children’s live around.

  The media knows this of course, and will be looking to use the backgrounds of these children, and any acts these children did in their past as a reason to attack Michele Bachmann when they should be celebrating her committment to helping these children possibly turn their lives around. I find this a disgusting political ploy to say the least.

  If the media wants to investigate the background of the candidate running for office that is one thing, but to involve the children of the candidate is in extremely bad taste, especially when the motives of that candidate are as pure as were Michele Bachmann’s. I find it interesting that the media may feel legitimized to investigate Michele Bachmann’s foster children’s background but were less than enthusiastic about investigating–or even reporting–the background of Barack Obama, including his associations with the now infamous Reverend Wright or Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, or his admission to seeking out radical communists and Marxists while in college. If the media had done their job when Barack Obama was still a candidate the country would be better off today, but they ignored Barack Obama’s radical ties, and now they are looking to capitalize on Michele Bachmann’s charitable nature.

  There is a double standard that is astounding, and while this is the latest example it is not the only example; Michelle Bachmann is under fire in the media for confusing the birth place of John Wayne, yet the media did not bat an eye when Barack Obama claimed he visited 57 states, and the media ignored Barack Obama when he repeatedly mispronounced “corpsmen” while reading the teleprompter, and the media promptly corrected him when he accidentally alluded to his Muslim faith, and the media found it to be no big deal when he committed the most egregious gaffe of all when he declared that he gave the Medal of Honor to a living soldier whom he awarded the honor to posthumously.

  It is none other than Barack Obama who has proven himself to be the “flake” and yet it is the misogynistic media which questions whether or not Michele Bachmann is a “flake.” Michele Bachmann is a stand up woman who lives by the very code that she wishes others to live by, and perhaps that is what is most upsetting to the media, they cannot bring her down so they will stoop to the level of trying to bring her foster children down in the hope that she will go down with them.
